My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread< author, l?Dave Brandon … AT THIS LINK …   told of the lonely time when Michael Collins, flying the lunar module around the backside of the moon when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on its surface, had to have felt a bit alone.  But he wasn’t alone; … was he?      

If my readers have taken in, and believed, as I do, the linked song and the Scriptures above, we’re NEVER ALONE, are we?  NO, … God’s caring love and mercy and grace are ALWAYS with those who love our Lord, and realize that, no matter what we face in life, … and no matter how lonely we may feel, … our God is ALWAYS there with us and for us.  

Paul confidently said it in Romans 8:38-39 as Jesus had promised (in Matt 28:20)  and King David had sung it earlier in Ps 139:1-7 … that our God’s love and grace are ALWAYS there with us and for us no matter what we face in life.               

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your promise of never leaving me alone to handle the challenges of life.                

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to walk with You, Lord, again today and then tomorrow, … and onward  forever.            Amen
